Series 40 BB Orbit Cheek RF45151
Less Friction, Ultimate Performance
Ball Bearing Orbit Blocks boast the highest strength-to-weight ratio available. This is achieved through all-composite reinforced polymer materials and a Dyneema rope link head.
Their precision design provides the optimum number of ball bearings in loaded areas and elimates them in inactive areas. Ineffective mass is reduced even further through fibre-reinforced composites in the block head, cleat arm and beckets.
- Lightweight
- Highest working load in its class
- Simple and secure attachment
- Low profile and compact
- Fiddle block flexibility
- High performance cleating
